Kickstarter Picks: Kymera Keeper
Thanks to the Pokemon series, catching and battling monsters has become its very own genre. A number of titles have already attempted to take that same magic and transport it to mobile and social platforms, but the developers at Red Seraphim are attempting to do something a bit different. Not only will the upcoming Kymera Keeper feature more in-depth gameplay, it will also be available across a range of platforms.Monday Morning Quarterback: How to fix copying and plagiarism in games
By Joel Brodie
Another week, another lawsuit. Yesterday, Spry Fox, the developers of the social game Triple Town, sued 6Waves for copy infringement, accusing the latter of copying their game with the release of Yeti Town on the iPhone. Last week, Nimblebit accused Zynga of copying their game Tiny Tower with the release of Dream Heights in the Canadian iTunes Store. Today Buffalo Studios just did the same about Bingo Blitz and Zynga Bingo. And in December, Zynga and Vostu settled a lawsuit whereby Zynga has sued Vostu for copying its game CityVille which Vostu counter-sued, claiming the pot-calling-the-kettle-black defense (that Zynga's game was a copy of other games).With so much outright copying and downright plagiarizing going in the world of games today, I would like to submit a Modest Proposal to solve the problem once and for all.Triple Town developer files copyright infringement suit over Yeti Town
By Jim Squires
With the rampant plagiarism that goes on in game development, something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. David Edery, CEO of Spry Fox, has just confirmed on his blog that his company has filed a copyright infringement suit against 6Waves LOLAPPS in regards to the latter's release of Yeti Town, a game that clearly borrowed everything that was original about Spry Fox's Triple Town, slapped on a fresh coat of paint, and made it to the App Store first.Lolapps (sort of) denies cloning Triple Town
The backlash against Zynga for its (pretty blatant) plagiarism of Tiny Tower may have been one of this week's big stories, but it certainly isn't the only recent case of game companies ripping each other off. Late last year, 6waves Lolapps was accused of doing the exact same thing, and now the company's finally defending itself.The week in gaming news: January 27, 2012
Another week has come and gone, and you know what that means: lots of news! A whole lot happened this week in gaming and you'd be forgiven if you missed a few things amidst all of the reviews, previews, and guides we publish each and every day. But Gamezebo's here to help, and so here's every bit of news we covered this past week, for your convenience.Steam is now available on your smartphone
By Jim Squires
Last May, I spent a bit of time pontificating on whether or not Steam belongs on a mobile platform. Regardless of my opinions on the subject (too lazy to read the article? The short version is "maybe, but they need to be careful"), Valve has just taken its first big step into the world of smartphones with the release of Steam Mobile for both iPhone and Android.Bursting the Game Bubble Rumor
The fear of another technology bubble is washing over the gaming industry like a bad case of the flu, tainting important decisions about everything from investments to innovations. Many see the current wave of financial news from Facebook, Zynga and PopCap Games and draw comparisons with the great Internet boom and its subsequent collapse. Trepidation has nearly paralyzed some game studios as they worry about starting production on new titles. Analysts have also begun to question the valuations of recent investments in the gaming market, while some gaming companies feel pressured to sell before the bubble bursts. But will it?Rovio branding executive joins the team at Big Fish Games
Casual game publisher Big Fish Games may become a household name in the near future, thanks to their latest hire. Wibe Wagemans — who recently finished working at Angry Birds creator Rovio as a senior vice president of global brand advertising — has just been hired by Big Fish to head up its mobile division.
